YES: By all means. Just ask him not to use adrenaline in his novacaine and if antibiotics are needed, penicillin is the drug of choice.

Yes: It is highly recommended that you have a cleaning and check up and any x-rays the dentist deems necessary. The best time for women that are pregnant to see their dentist is during the second trimester. Should there be anything wrong that requires treatment you OB would be consulted. The last thing you need is a toothache or infection while in labor. Any x-rays done are with a double lead apron.
